We do not and never did have the "right" to keep wild animals as pets. That is a privilege. One that we, ourselves (as a community) are doing a fine job screwing up.

I bet anything varanids are next on the list after venomous reptiles. The sad thing is, these laws will go through because we as a community are the minority and unorganized or in the very early stages of becoming organized. Might be too little too late though.
